They knew it was the end. Weakened by four years of war, the reality had finally dawned on the Germans that their armies could never stop the combined might of the Allied forces, now bolstered by the fresh, enthusiastic Americans, who were now determined to be involved in the conflict that had engulfed the world. It was there that 1,, men were deployed in what was to be the largest offensive in the United States military history.
It was in the fighting in the Argonne Forest that one of the most remarkable incidents in the entire First World War took place. In October , Corporal Alvin Cullum York single-handedly captured Germans and killed twenty-one in a desperate fire-fight.
Yorks battalion of the th Infantry Regiment had become pinned down by heavy machine-gun and artillery fire. Its commander sent Sergeant Bernard Early, four non-commissioned officers, including the recently promoted Corporal York, and thirteen privates to infiltrate the German positions and neutralise the machine-guns.
The small American force came upon a large group of enemy troops having breakfast, and these were taken prisoner. They then came under fire from German machine-guns which left eight men were killed or wounded and York as the senior NCO.
York and the survivors returned fire and silenced the enemy, allowing the Americans to rejoin their battalion with the prisoners in tow. York was promoted to Sergeant and he received the Congressional Medal of Honor. The site of this famous action was believed to have been identified in and a memorial erected by the French authorities. However, a team of archaeologists, with help from the French Department of Archaeology and the use of modern day Geographic Information Science, believe that the memorial is incorrectly situated, and have uncovered thousands of exhibits to support their claim.
Complete with detailed plans and diagrams, and a rich variety of photographs of locations and artefacts, Michael Kelly presents not only a fascinating account of Yorks determined courage, but also a detective story as the team unravels the evidence to reveal the exact ravine where the most famous US military action of the First World War took place. What does it mean to be an African today?

Moving from Africa to North America to Europe, the text insightfully explores the pre-occupations of black elite, in the three continents, exploring their shared visions and also their conflicting interests.
